LAND AND FRESHWATER MOLLUSCA OF SCOTLAND 155 



Wood. It will be of interest to add that the species named in this 

 and the two preceding paragraphs have been, by the kindness of 

 Mrs. Carphin, added to the collections of the Conchological 

 Society. 



31. FURTHER ADDITIONS TO THE BANFFSHIRE LIST. We are 

 indebted to Mr. Lionel W. Hinxman for a few shells collected 

 during June and July of 1893 at Inchrory, Glenavon, Banffshire, 

 at an altitude of from 1400 to 1600 feet above sea-level. They 

 were * Limncca auriadaria var. acuta and L. peregra (a few), L. 

 tnincatnla (one, dead), ^Ancylus fluviatilis (two) and var. albida 

 (two), a couple of Bulimus obscurus, and a couple of immature Helix 

 arbustonon ; the two species added to the list being marked with 

 asterisks (*). With these additions, the Banffshire list now totals up 

 to 37 authenticated species. These specimens, by Mr. Hinxman's 

 kindness, have been added to the Conchological Society's collection. 

 Mr. Hinxman mentions that he also obtained two detached valves 

 of a young individual of Sp/uzrium, but unfortunately lost them, 

 and was never able to come upon the shell again, though he 

 searched the locality carefully. 



32. ADDITIONS TO THE STIRLINGSHIRE LIST. I have recently 

 had the pleasure of seeing the admirable work which Mr. Andrew 

 M'Lellan has done in investigating the land and freshwater Mollusca 

 of the county of Stirling, which he has worked at very systematically 

 during the past three years. The species submitted by him to the 

 Conchological Society's referees include the following, which are 

 additional authentications for the county : Sucdnea elegans, Hya- 

 linia alliaria, H. pitra, If. radiatula, H. fnlva, Helix aculeata, H. 

 aspersa, H. pulchdla, Bulimia us obscurus, Vertigo pygmcca, Gary chin in 

 minimum, Bythinia tentaculata, Planorbis parvus, Bulliniis Jiypnoruin, 

 P. fontinalis, Lim/uza palustris, Unio margaritifer, Anodonta cygnea, 

 and Dreissenia polymorplia, bringing the Stirlingshire total of 

 authentications up to 56. I omit mention of the already authenti- 

 cated species which Mr. M'Lellan's collection contains ; and I also 

 refrain from particularising the localities of the species here recorded 

 as new, in the hope that it may not be long before Mr. M'Lellan 

 himself publishes a full and detailed account of the Stirlingshire 

 Mollusca in one of our natural history periodicals. 



33. SUCCINEA OBLONGA AND MONST. SINISTRORSUM IN SOUTH 



PERTHSHIRE. --Along with his Stirlingshire shells, Mr. M'Lellan 

 submitted for examination some examples of this interesting species, 

 one being sinistral, collected by a friend of his in the vice-county of 

 South Perth with Clackmannan. 



34. EDINBURGHSHIRE SHELLS. Although none of them are 

 actually new for the county, it may be of interest to note the occur- 

 rence of Helix granulata = sericea Jeff. (Roslin Glen, July 1893),
